OK, I overlooked the tool in Debian's unstable because it changed from
starting with ppm to pnm. Debian users should be able to upgrade with
"apt-get source netpbm && cd netpbm-* && debuild binary" and then
installing the resulting package.

Why does plucker not complain more about such things? In the "Plucker
1.1 was configured..." finish screen, saying whether it can make
images would help.
Now I'm really confused. It seems to do just that: it spits out a
*big* warning if it can't find anything to convert with. For some
reason it thinks it's OK here but still doesn't convert images. I
think I'm going to wander off, do some upgrades and some tests and see
whether that fixes it. My plucker seems a little confused.

Hmm, irony detection failure?
